Don't let the truck fool you....this was unforgivably awful. First of all, I find it funny that the title of the movie claims to be The Ice Cream Truck, and yet the truck doesn't even show up until a half hour into the movie! It seemed like ten minutes for the opening credits to end, so lets entertain you in the meantime and show you screenshots of beautiful homes that have absolutely nothing to do with the movie! And what do you think of when you hear the words....ice cream truck? Kids? Yeah, well, there are no children chasing after the truck. In fact, they got it half butt backward, and you see an adult chasing down the ice cream truck. Hello? Anyone in there? Did you think it was a little funny, this ice cream truck is driving around at nighttime, when the kids are sleeping, inviting you in his truck....don't you think this is a little odd? Yeah, go on in there, you deserve to die, if you're that stupid. God, what this guy wouldn't do for a Klondike bar. Once again, we got a dork with a knife, and no explanation why he's so upset with his victims, that he wants to off his customers and innocent people off. The story line barely exists, instead, we have long boring sequences of...virtually nothing. Cookie cutter characters just waiting to get cut apart by a cookie cutter. No, just joking, but, uh, be prepared to see the ice cream scooper used as a weapon. I've never seen that before, but you don't get any stars for it. Last half hour pissed me off so much, I was actually rooting for the killer. Can't spoil why, but I was thinking "TAKE NO PRISONERS NOW!" Overall, I think this movie sucked! Even the kills weren't worth the watch, instead of graphic kills, we get many shots of fake blood getting splattered. Acting was horrible, if you want to call that acting. Bottom line...let everything in this ice cream truck melt, along with any feelings you have towards it. 1 out of 10 stars! You don't even deserve 1 star, imdb is making me give it to you.

It gets a 2 instead of a 1 because Deanna Russo is hot. The director, Megan Freels Johnston, announced at a Q&A after the premiere that there might be sequel about a delivery truck driver.This would be helpful if they were to shoot additional footage and re-edit the original. The goal being to put an actual plot into the movie.What is with the creepy mover?What is with the creepy party guest ?Why is the ice cream man killing people ? How can he stay in business when he only stops to kill people ? Why doesn't his truck have license plates ?Character development is done with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer. Odd when there are so many threads left hanging let alone the lack of a plot. IMDb listing is not correct. Avoid this movie.

From the opening, the score and the cinematography tell you this is not going to be your typical low budget paint-by-numbers film. The pacing is not great, but easily forgotten as you take in each awkward scene. The awkwardness is really what makes this film so creepy. The score grates on your nerves and the pregnant pauses punctuating the labored dialogue give yous a sense of being disconnected from reality. It's a clever and really original way of creating the ominous horror undertones your seeking in a scary movie. The ending twist came as a surprise - but if you stop and think about it, there were quite a few hints. In all, I really liked this film. There are so many crappy horror movies out there that rely and cheep jump scenes and a twist that is wholly irrelevant to the plot. If you're looking for something a little different, give this movie a try.

"Welcome to the neighborhood" What's more applicable with this sultry weather than a horror about a murderous ice cream man? Let me assure you though. Next time you see an ice cream truck, you won't be running away in full panic and loudly screaming. Not after watching this movie at least, because this low-budget movie isn't really scary or frightening. To be honest, I found the ice cream man (Emil Johnsen) a kind of a dork. Even during his killings, he looked rather like a sissy. I'm sure that one well-aimed smack with a scoop, would be enough to hit him unconsciously. And for the most sensitive viewers: don't expect a bloody slaughtering as you could see in "Friday the 13th".There's one thing I was enthusiastic about. And that's the ice cream truck itself. A beautifully maintained pastel tinted old-timer. Even the noise of the engine was a pleasure to hear. So this item also isn't something to be afraid of. Only Mary (Deanna Russo) had her doubts about it, the very first moment the ice cream truck drove by. The only peculiar thing to me was the ridiculous times this truck drove through the neighborhood while playing his childish tune.The whole story focuses on Mary, a so-called freelance writer who apparently has problems with writing some new stuff. So she moved back to a suburb where she once grew up. However, she has to wait a few days before her husband and two children arrive. And during that time she gets to know some of the local people. Like a couple of curious neighbor women and Max (John Redlinger), the son of one of them who just graduated. And also someone from the moving company. A scary, rough looking guy with a huge walrus mustache who acted quite intimidating. They had better promoted him to be the Ice Cream man because he looked like a real terrifying psychopath.You can hardly call this a horror. It's more a story about Mary in her midlife crisis who starts realizing that she isn't a young teen-girl anymore. What you get is a trivial story about a woman whose hormones go berserk again after seeing a young muscular guy whose six-pack reminds her of her student time. To be honest, I didn't think Mary was so bad looking. And in my opinion she's is in real life much younger than the age she has in the movie. Max, on the other hand, looks older. Let's say that Max's acting like a stud and Mary's behavior as a teenybopper take most of the time of this somewhat faint horror. Oh yes, it's a horror. Thus, in addition, some innocent adolescents are being killed as well in between. Almost forgot about that."The ice cream truck" isn't really a very good movie. It's not terribly bad either. It's a dull would-be slasher. Actually, the film left me cold (how applicable). Fortunately, the acting of the main characters was adequate. The denouement was quite abrupt (and the place Mary decided to hide herself, was absolutely laughable). The makers tried to give it a bit of a horror feeling by thinking of a surprising end. But to be honest there was only one thing the film did to me. I felt like having a huge ice cream with a lot of whipped cream and red fruit on it. As a reward.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/2qtGQoc
